"And so it begins" LJ Idol Exhibit A Week 11

We bought a house. Which is twelve kinds of crazy. We're hoping to move in about 2 weeks. Oh, we're also getting married in about a month. So that adds another few kinds of stressy-crazy. Both awesome-tastic things, but, dude, there are things I just didn't consider. Really? My bridesmaids all consult me on which shoes they wear? I had no idea. Also...

		Ownership



and so it begins
the packing and the boxes
	the trash and the stress

the moving
	(and the moving
		and the moving)


oh wait, i’m in california now
don’t forget the termites


and so it begins
the termites search for dead trees
but find only houses
	
wood frame houses on concrete slabs
such yummy food for little ‘mites
gnawing at my window frame
	breeding in my walls
	breaking down my house tiny bite by tiny bite

we’ve taken the trees and offer our houses for supper

and so it begins
the carnival is coming to town
with a big tent full of poison 
killing all, killing
		    killing

and today
       today 
      i don’t feel so bad about death
